A New European COST Network 'NORM4Building' (TU1301) for the Reuse of NORM Containing Residues in Building Materials

A specific class of residues, for which building materials offer an interesting reuse option, originates from NORM (naturally occurring radioactive materials) processing industries. Existing NORM residues being studied for reuse in are among others: (i) coal fly-ash, slag and bottom ash from coal-fired power plants, (ii) phosphorous slag from thermal phosphorus production, (iii) phosphogypsum from phosphoric acid production, (iv) red-mud from alumina production, (v) unprocessed slag from primary iron production and steel or stainless steel, lead, copper and tin slags from primary and secondary production.
